But this time Esty, 21, from New Brighton, Wirral, and his friend Rob, were unable to make their customary getaway.

Instead they were collared by the police, handcuffed and put in a van before being eventually let go.

“They know we are not bad people and we don’t break anything,” said Esty, who says he never feels like he is in danger.

As well as climbing numerous buildings in Liverpool, Esty and his friends have scaled the outside of the Eiffel Tower, the 1200-ft Almas Tower in Dubai and a towering crane in Los Angeles, which they then abseiled down from.

All of which must give his Wirral parents Maxine and Max nightmares.
